I used to love Ketchup / Mayo combo with chips, but I think I've grown up a bit now.

Duvet on the sofa - not acceptable
Ketchup/Mayo - not acceptable
Beer before 12 - still acceptable

Are these all now wrong?

That's sometimes known as Thousand Island dressing, and deep in the past used to be slopped all over Wimpy burgers, which I used to love. I'm old enough to remember the Wimpy burger place in Dubai - it used to be near the Harry Ramsden's not far from the Creek.

Duvet on the sofa is better than duvet on the bathroom floor. Ketchup/Mayo, well up to you, but has another name if you want..Beer before 12, well, so long as it isn't beer before breakfast....

Interesting.

I rarely fancy the duvet on the sofa but sometimes it's just lovely.

Ketch/Mayo is coming back.

Beer before 12 is acceptable forever.

Thanks guys

Not quite, anyone can come in to eat, drink & smoke (Trade Centre will take anyone's order). If they want to swim & use the other facilities (gym, tennis courts etc) then an entry fee is charged.

Southlondoner is an unknown quantity at this point

Thank you very much Spartan53! Tried Khozama for lunch today - and it served food and drink throughout the day.

One funny aspect. I had to sit behind a black curtain at the table even though I went on my own. It was a bit surreal.

I guess they are worried about the muttawa seeing anyone eating and drinking.

Thanks for the heads up! There is nothing else open in the long daylight hours here.
